Indiana Pacers forward Solomon Hill is listed day-to-day for Summer League with a right sprained ankle injury suffered at the end of a Wednesday scrimmage.

The injury isn't believed to be serious — the second-year pro met with reporters Thursday and said he was able to put pressure on the wrapped ankle. He hopes to play in every game in the seven-day event, which begins Saturday in Orlando.

"At the end of scrimmage, I just kind of came down on it wrong," Hill said of the night workout. "It swelled up on me. Hopefully the swelling will go down enough for me to play."

After sitting out much of his rookie season, averaging just 8.1 minutes in 28 appearances, he concedes playing time means "everything to me right now" and "I would love to play in every game."

Pacers assistant coach Dan Burke, who runs the summer league squad, concurred that it's an important time for Hill, a first-round selection with the 23rd overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft.

"This is a big summer for him," Burke said. "He's got to continue his development, he's got to continue to grow and look to be a better player.

"He watched a lot last year. I think he learned a lot. He worked hard in practice. He was always one of the last guys to leave after practice. He put a lot of time into his game. Now is a good time to see where he is."

Two players cut

The Pacers announced Thursday the release of guard Eric Atkins and forward C.J. Leslie from the free agent/rookie camp roster. Atkins played his college ball at Notre Dame. Leslie last played for Idaho in the NBA Development League.
